Spring cloud: Ribbon and HTTPS

Question

We want to use HTTPS for our microservices communication based on Feign and Ribbon. The services are based on spring boot and tomcat is correctly setup. The instances are regist

Answer 1

I have the same problem trying to configure Zuul proxy to use Ribbon to connect to micro services running on https: RibbonRoutingFilter is looking at requestURI and create RestClient when run method is executed. I configured Eureka to run on http though. It is the underlying https microservice registered on Eureka cannot be accessed by Ribbon.

http works perfectly with simple zuul routes set up.

Answer 2

We solved the zuul proxy problem now by setting

ribbon.IsSecure=true
eureka.instance.secureVirtualHostName=${spring.application.name}

so that all services are also in the secure virtual hosts pool in com.netflix.discovery.shared.Applications. That helps the discovery process to find the instances in eureka.

However, the Hystrix dashboard has still a similar problem
